Why Prince William is Once Again Linked to Rose Hanbury Making Kate Middleton Allegedly Upset

Prince William is a doting husband to Kate Middleton and a doting dad to his three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. He is also a key member of the British monarchy and heir to the throne.

Even though he is highly respected around the world, he is still not spared from ruthless rumours and speculations about the real state of his marriage. For many years, the Prince of Wales has been linked to his close female friend, Rose Hanbury. Even though these claims have never been proven to be accurate, they still harm him and his family.

Penchant for Same Designers and Brands

OK! magazine reignited the rumours recently by comparing Hanbury and Middleton's fashion and style. The magazine claimed that Hanbury and Middleton's outfits are very similar to each other. They also pointed out that the two women seemed to love the same brands and designers.

What appears to be an innocent fashion choice turned into a competition between the two women. It also resulted in the magazine alleging that Middleton is upset after her name is once again linked to Prince William's rumoured other woman.

'Those who move in royal circles have increasingly remarked on how closely Rose's style appears to mirror Kate's, right down to similar designers and overall shapes. It has not gone unnoticed and has become a subject of quiet chatter, something Kate finds deeply unsettling,' a source said.

Protecting One's Peace

The rumours are reportedly upsetting for Middleton because she has tried her best to lead a private life. As a result, she has become more determined to protect her peace and that of her children. 'At this stage, her priority is protecting herself emotionally and ensuring she is not repeatedly exposed to the same distress,' the insider added.

To further protect her peace, Middleton reportedly decided to take a step back from her royal duties. The mother of three has become more selective with the engagements that she attends. However, this decision allegedly did not sit well with King Charles, who wants Middleton to make more public appearances.

How the Affair Rumours Started

Years ago, rumours swirled that Prince William was having an affair with Hanbury. Before examining what the tabloids had to say, it is important to note that the rumours were never proven to be correct.

It all started in 2019 when In Touch Weekly claimed that Middleton caught Prince William having an affair with her close friend, Hanbury. The Princess of Wales allegedly confronted her husband about it, but Prince William just laughed it off. Shortly after, other tabloids claimed that Middleton urged her husband to remove Hanbury from their social circle. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that the two women were never photographed together since the rumours first circulated.

Three years later, a blind item alleged that it's an open secret that one member of the royal family was having an affair. Prince William was not named in the baseless post, but everyone became convinced that he was the subject of the blind item. However, Hanbury is also married, and it is necessary to reiterate the fact that there has never been an affair between her and Prince William.
